Fillers may be necessary when installing cabinets. They help allow

for odd dimensions between a run of cabinets and the wall. They

also allow clearance for doors and drawers to operate properly

when turning a corner with a blind corner cabinet. Fillers and

valances often have to be trimmed to fit.

4.1

Measure the area requiring a filler piece. Carefully trim the

filler piece to the appropriate width with a saw.

4.2

Clamp the filler in place and once again, drill a pilot hole on the

hinge side of the face frame and into the filler.
